I am suffering from obesity what is the remedy? |
I am aged 49 years working in office. It is hard to stop eating the wrong types of food and do a little excersise, but for your sake you must try to do some exercise, how about a 30 min walk each day. Stop eating after 7pm, try eating more fruit at night instead of fatty foods. Exercise and Healthy food =-) Visit: www.freetrainers.com The remedy is a combination of controlling food portions, eating nutritious food (and not eating junk food), exericise, and getting enough sleep. Try to eat a good breakfast, and then have snacks or small meals for the rest of the day, eating less towards bedtime. Also, get exercise every day, especially cardio. Cook your own food instead of getting fast food or eating chips/cookies, etc. and read the labels to avoid excess calories, carbs & fat. People gain weight when the body takes in more calories than it burns off. Those extra calories are stored as fat. The amount of weight gain that leads to obesity doesn't happen in a few weeks or months. Because being obese is more than just being a few pounds overweight, people who are obese have usually been getting more calories than they need for years. Genes - small parts of the DNA that people inherit from their parents and that determine traits like hair or eye color - can play an important role in this weight gain. Some of your genes tell your body how to metabolize food and how to use extra calories or stored fat. Some people burn calories faster or slower than others do because of their genes. Obesity can run in families, but just how much is due to genes is hard to determine. Many families eat the same foods, have the same habits (like snacking in front of the TV), and tend to think alike when it comes to weight issues (like urging children to eat a lot at dinner so they can grow "big and strong"). All of these situations can contribute to weight gain, so it can be difficult to figure out if a person is born with a tendency to be obese or overweight or learns eating and exercise habits that lead to weight gain. In most cases, weight problems arise from a combination of habits and genetic factors. Certain illnesses, like thyroid gland problems or unusual genetic disorders, are uncommon causes for people gaining weight. Sometimes emotions can fuel obesity as well. People tend to eat more when they are upset, anxious, sad, stressed out, or even bored. Then after they eat too much, they may feel bad about it and eat more to deal with those bad feelings, creating a tough cycle to break. One of the most important factors in weight gain is a sedentary lifestyle. People are much less active today than they used to be, with televisions, computers, and video games filling their spare time. Cars dominate our lives, and fewer people walk or ride bikes to get somewhere. As lives become busier, there is less time to cook healthy meals, so more and more people eat at restaurants, grab takeout food, or buy quick foods at the grocery store or food market to heat up at home. All of these can contain lots more fat and calories than meals prepared from fresh foods at home. Diet and exercise. It is a lifestyle change. Sorry no quick fix. Pills only destroy your health and most don't work. You can have a gastric bypass if you are severely obese but it doesn't always work and it is a risky major surgery. Even with surgery you have to change your eating habits and exercise regularly. Good luck. You will need to learn portion control which will be hard at first. Cut back on the fats and sweets also and when you feel the need for a snack have something healthy at your work desk to munch on. Carrot sticks, celery, protein bars etc. Fresh fruit like apples would also be a good snack. If you are able you will also have to work some kind of exercie into your routine. Walking is a good exercise to start with. As I said it will be hard at first I know I use to weigh over 300 pounds but after 1 and 1/2 years of cutting back and light exercise I have lost more than 150 pounds. Good luck I'm rooting for you. 1. About 5 minutes before lunch or dinner, drink a glass of water or use a juicer to juice organic veggies or fruit. Allowing you to fill your stomach up so you don鈥檛 eat as much food. 2. When choosing breads, biscuits and muffins go with organic whole grains such as spelt, buckwheat, barley and so on. Use organic natural spreads, free of chemicals and additives. 3. Replace soft drinks and fruit juice with water. 4. ALWAYS eat breakfast. A meat source such as steak, chicken, fish, or eggs with some fruit or some steal cut oatmeal will jump start your metabolism. Eating breakfast will stabilize your blood sugar and prevent overeating the wrong foods later. 5. Between meals, chewing gum may satisfy your sweet tooth at less than 10 calories. Be mindful of dental health and don鈥檛 overdo it! Chew organic natural gums free of aspartame and other harmful chemicals. 6. When the need to really treat one鈥檚 self arises, opt for organic ice cream, cookies, or something sweet like a protein shake with some fresh or frozen fruit. However, just enough to satisfy the urge since they contain sugar! Make it natural sugar. 7. Consider consuming coconut oil for breakfast or lunch to help stabilize your blood sugar and keep the fat off. 8. Avoid dairy and cheese to help keep the fat off. 9. Replace your snack foods with organic snacks, like raw almonds, cashews and pumpkin seeds, though be careful because calories can add up fast. 10. Replace milk with raw milk or at least organic milk which will rid your body of unhealthy hormones. Or avoid milk all together, you can get plenty of calcium from leafy greens. 11. Don鈥檛 alter your food. Consume your food as mother nature intended you to, naturally. If they have to process the food, package it or change it from how you would eat it in nature, avoid it. 12. Remember Fruit should be your favorite dessert. Make fruit something you crave and if necessary add small amounts of organic brownies, cake, or pie. 13. Remember to follow your body鈥檚 bio-chemistry; what you are made to eat and what allows you to function the best and read about your body鈥檚 metabolic typing. 14. When the urge for pizza arises, make it. Buy organic pizza dough and add fresh organic toppings, raw cheese, and enjoy. 15. Watch out for the salad bar, just because it is a salad doesn鈥檛 necessarily mean you can eat as much as you want. Use vinegar and oil for dressing. It is a better choice than creamy Italian, Ranch or house dressings. Be careful with shredded cheese, potato salad, and sour cream as well. 16. Avoid all fried foods. And if you feel the need to eat fried food use coconut oil so it can hold up to the high temperature of frying as opposed to vegetable oils that go rancid and can lead to health problems and gaining weight. 17. Buy French fries that can be baked instead of fried. Still blot well to remove excess grease! Or even better buy sweet potatoes and make them into French fries. 18. Try to avoid processed foods. Chemicals, additives and colors are not healthy, and these food are often high in calories. Eating an apple will fill your stomach and be better in the long run. Don鈥檛 forget, at least one fruit or vegetable with every meal, preferably organic. 19. Occasional indulgences are allowable, but don鈥檛 feel a diet has been ruined and give up because you 鈥渃heated.鈥?Just be mindful during the upcoming days and remember that your body is constantly burning calories and fuel. 20. Move as much and whenever possible, even if it鈥檚 using the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking instead of driving to meet the kids. Revisit a sport or activity once loved, or attempt an entirely new physical activity. Check the library for free workout videos, hire a personal trainer or find a television exercise show, for private exercise. Play with the kids. Do what you enjoy! Once pounds start coming off, and clothes start feeling big, these minor changes will no longer seem difficult. They will become the path to a healthier new life, new body and most importantly a new you! |
